Overcoming bottlenecks for realizing a vehicle‐to‐grid infrastructure in Europe through standardization

Abstract

This paper focuses on committee–market standards battles for the case of vehicle‐to‐grid technology in Europe. In this battle, standards such as CHArge de MOve (CHAdeMO) and Com-bined Charging System (CCS) Combo are competing. The paper identifies relevant factors with the help of a literature review and expert interviews. Furthermore, the importance weights were estab-lished for the factors. The paper ends with a discussion and conclusion in which the theoretical contributions, practical implications, limitations, and recommendations for further research are dis-cussed.
